Junior defensive back Vernon Hargreaves and senior linebacker Antonio Morrison have been named to the Chuck Bednarik Award preseason watch list for the best defensive player in the country.
Tight end Jake McGee has been named to the Jack Mackey Award preseason watch list for the best tight end in the nation.
Hargreaves was a semifinalist for the Bednarik last season.
Morrison was a Second Team All-Southeastern Conference selection after he led the Gators with 101 tackles becoming the first Florida player to do so since Ahmad Black had 108 in 2010.
Morrison is expected to miss the beginning of the season as he continues to recover from a knee injury that he suffered during the Birmingham Bowl in January.
